On a recent podcast, Jermaine Dupri said that he came up with the idea of 106 & Park for Bow Wow because there wasn’t a video show like MTV’s TRL. “106 & Park was created by me,” Dupree said “I created the show for Bow Wow. I was watching MTV and they had TRL. They catered to NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys and anything White that was coming out that was pop. They was allowing these kids to scream and holler at them.”
Bow Wow, heard of Jermaine Dupri statement and said, “Stop the cap! JD aint create 106&Park stop the cap, Stephen hill Rick Ghrimes & all the great people in the BET OFFICE & staff created that show. All I did was capitalize off of what they created and made it mine. I would know…. I am Mr 106! I would never take away from someone’s creativity.” Bow wow said
Bow Wow and Dupri have had a long-standing work and partnership “I just wish he just do his own thang w out having to bring me up. I wish the dude the best of luck in his career and in life. We did some amazing things but that chapter is closed.”
It’s not over tho because Da Brat went to her social media and wrote Bow Wow a long message saying how dare you to disrespect JD who “nurtured you, made you a complete star, wrote all yo hits [and] accepted the challenged when [Snoop Dogg] brought you to him.”
Da Brat also wrote: “You really on some BS RIGHT NOW. Now u KNOW I got ALL da receipts and know the WHOLE stories to ALOT ALOT! Don’t do this. Respect a legend. Respect a cultural icon. Respect the person who made your career what it is. I’m asking you now to please stop. I’m sorry @jermainedupri I cannot be silent about this shit any longer.”
